100% Item/Everything Walkthrough

A while back, I wrote a completion guide, with screenshots, for Final Fantasy VIII and wanted to share it with everyone here. It was written for the Playstation version, but should cover the PC version perfectly, with the acceptation of achievements. Hope you find it helpful.

Ya, very nice. But I don't understand why you said so many things could be done in Disc 4, but isn't disc 4 just for Ultimecia castle? But what is the purpose of moving Queen of Cards to Trabia? Still working on Omega Weapon atm, but it seems the game is over after this last castle.
What am I missing?

[ViktorGritty]

Several of the side-quests are still available to be done on disc 4. On the chain bridge that leads up to Ultimecia Castle you can jump through the middle portal to return to the outside world but can't revisit any towns. Ultimecia Castle is the end of the game, but just pointing out those quests are still available to be done if you didn't get to them before.

The Card Queen and Trabia thing is really complicated, but basically it's like this: if you did the CC Group card quest on disc 4 when you go back to the Ragnarok from Ultimecia Castle the CC Group is onboard and you can play cards with them. There's a duo of girls called Diamond that can play every rare card in the game that isn't in your inventory (Even if you refined the card). The Diamond girls use the rules from the Trabia area which are effected by the Card Queen's location. So, if the Card Queen is in Shumi Village (Her Trabia rules position) when you move to disc 4, she retains those rules at the escape pod crash site and thus you can change Trabia's rules by playing cards with her there (Mainly the trading rules so you can get more cards) and this effects the Diamond girl as well because she uses Trabia's rules. It's not necessary to do but it makes farming rare cards from her much easier and saves you time.

Thanks Viktor, looks like I somehow missed all of Chapter 21 in your guide. I read that after the Seifer fight there was no going back and next chapter I read was the Ultimecia castle.

thanks

No problem. Anything else just post and I'll be glad to help.

So far, it seems quite good.
